KIES keeps saying 2.3.3 is the latest version

Shiningstar777 · Oct 15, 2011

Hi everyone!

I had some problems with Kies not recognizing my Galaxy S for a while. But after doing lots of reasearching and trying lots of small things I read in tutorials and people with the same problem, I finally solved my problem.
But there's another problem now:

Kies keeps telling me that my phone has the latest version and there's no new firmware updates to be done at the moment.
I have the Unlocked Galaxy S (UK version) and it's currently running Gingerbread 2.3.3 still.
I've heard some news that 2.3.4 or even 2.4.5 is already available. But why my Kies is not following those firmware upgrades?

I will appreciate any kind of help!!

Thanks a lot!

I'm in the same exact boat fellow UKer!

Had my Samsung Galaxy S [02] for about 2 weeks now [though no problems with KIES recognising it mind].

But ... what are we supposed to now?
I've heard that Gingerbread 2.3.4. is already available to UK users, but my Kies keeps telling me that I have the latest version, BUT I am still stuck on 2.3.3 ..... is only there was a button like ... "check for firmware updates" ... but Kies has everything to make it complicated !
Please if you find any solution, let me know!!

Or .... anyone out there!!!!!!!! Please help us!!!!!

Have you tried OTA update (over tyhe air).. go into settings> about phone> software update> check for update.. (thats on the basis your mobile phone company have released firmware update..
If you realy want to upgarde just flash using odin

Thanks a lot![/QUOTE]

Hey Rash! I really want thank your for your reply. I didn't know that we could check updates on the phone!
Everyone just keeps talking about Kies so ... I've never thought there was another was to check it!
And I did it as you mentioned ... but ... unfortunately .. no updates for my phone yet =(
But now I am happy I can check it on the phone instead of plugging it and trying that difficult Kies!!

Thanks a lot, you really helped me!

Id check back with kies now and then as when 2.3.3 update was available for my phone via kies the OTA update offered nothing

with my sgs set to firmware (cpw) i could only go to 2.3.3
changed it to generic (xeu) and kies updated phone to 2.3.4
only downside was that i had to reload my apps

KIES keeps saying 2.3.3 is the latest version
